Get a fresh set of eyes and ears

How many great ideas have you had that never happened because you never tried?

How many great ideas have you had which just plain sucked? God knows I’ve had some real howlers in my day.

Sometimes what you need is a fresh set of eyes and ears. Someone who deals with photographers nearly every day of the year. I do that, and I hear their ideas and see them implemented. And quite often I learn the results. I don’t give away proprietary secrets, but I can tell you that I’ve seen your idea tried before, and this is what happened.

Maybe you’re wondering even if you’re ready to go pro, or what you need to do to get started down that path. I can help you draw up a plan, identify strengths and weaknesses and help you decide if now is the time, or if you should ease into it.

Your portfolio? Let’s be honest, most people will decide whether to call you after just seeing five or ten images. If the images you choose aren’t the best choices to bring in new businesses, you’re pretty much doomed. As an art/creative director for almost two decades, I’ve bought a fortune in photography and been in on the hiring of many photographers. And after several years of of being a photographer myself, plus a few years working with ooddles of others, I know that side of the coin as well.

I’ll take a look at what you want to do, what you’re doing and what your competition is doing, and help you build the strongest package possible. It’s not science, but it’s several steps forward towards getting your business off the ground or keeping it growing. You’ll come away with a lot more confidence in what you’re doing, and have the strongest portfolio possible.

I’ll take a look at your portfolio and your site for free and give you my basic impression. A lot of times my recommendation is not to change a thing. Sometimes my suggestions or small changes that you can implement yourself.

If you want to go further, we can set you up with a comprehensive site review and suggestions, analysis of your market and competition, as well as help with your portfolio selection. And of course, all this is included if you decide to hire us to help make your site grow.
